    Total Commander vs Double Commander Comments

    Its the father of the complete "Commander" bunch. It is very reliable and starts much faster than the double commander. The rest is very much alike. I think double commander ist a clone of the original Total commander.

    Double-pane is not Files primary mode, but it does support it. Files has a lot less functionality and no focus on keyboard use-/accessibility.

    Easy to use. Can move files easily. Free version and slightly more complex paid version. Both very good. - Jim

    oMega Commander is fast, highly configurable and loaded with shortcuts. Frequently used folders can be bookmarked and accessed via shortcuts. Take some time to explore the many options and you will be rewarded by the best file manager that I've used on Windows so far.
